How to Save Money at Vetco Total Care

Schedule Regular Vet Visits

One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.

Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions

Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.

Pet Insurance

Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Getting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask

Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:

Tell me about your experience with [pet type].

Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.

How do you handle emergencies?

You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.

How do you communicate with pet owners?

Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.

Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?

Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.

Do you have any questions for me about my pet?

This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.

Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?

Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

My 10 month old Chihuahua mix puppy "Bodie" had his very first appointment with vetco and it was amazing! They treated Bodie with kindness, affection, and answered every question that I had professionally. They had great personalities and you could tell that they love animals..

This Medical center is polite, prompt and truly care about your pets health and well being. They explain to you procedures needed and give you a look at X-rays and such and a fact sheet to what's going on with your pet. Their a wonderful professional team. I trust them with all my pets. I know my pets will get quality care.

Took my 19 year old cat in with 2 major medical concerns. I was seen promptly and was impressed with the care from the support staff. The doctor did a thorough exam, but we did not talk about the main concerns that I had; it was left with "we'll see what the blood work shows". When I had not heard from them after one week, I called and was told the doctor left me a voice mail. Nope, I did show a missed call, however. The staff member explained sometimes their phone system made it look like a voice mail was left even if it did not record. She explained she would leave a message for the doctor to give me a call since we did not have a chance to chat. It's been another full week and I still have not heard from them. I plan to transfer the records to another veterinary clinic, and schedule a 2nd physical exam so that I can speak with someone. It's disappointing that there is no personal website for this veterinary office, since it is part of a corporate entity (Petco). Since I have been having trouble with communication, it would have been nice to be able to email the hospital, but no email address is provided on their website or printed materials.

Very professional, friendly and polite employees. Their Customer service skills are on point. The ladies behind the counter are very helpful. The lobby environment is very warm and welcoming. I would recommend bringing your pet here for anything from an emergency to having their toenails clipped.

It was an excellent experience. No waiting time. My cat was checked. I was given the medication that I wanted for my cat to travel which worked excellently. It was a marvelous trip for all. I am very grateful that I brought my kitty there. Everybody was very helpful.
